Pinar Akgun

Pinar is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), with extensive experience across employment services and the NDIS. She has supported adults, children and families from diverse backgrounds navigating mental health challenges, life transitions, disability, work-related stress and complex personal circumstances.

Pinar works from a warm, collaborative approach and believes therapy is most powerful when clients feel safe, understood and respected. She creates a supportive space where people can be themselves and share openly. Her work is grounded in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.

In addition to therapy, Pinar conducts cognitive assessments for children to help identify learning needs and intellectual developmental differences, and has experience completing psychological assessments for organisations such as South Australia Police.

Pinar is committed to inclusive, trauma-informed and culturally sensitive practice. Her goal is to walk alongside clients with empathy and care, helping them build insight, develop practical skills and reconnect with what matters most — so they can move forward with greater confidence, clarity and hope.

Pinar offers sessions in English.
